- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs room temperature

- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.

- Combine flour and salt. Add the flour mixture a little bit at a time to the butter mixture, beating just until combined after each addition.

- Remove the pound cake from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- Additional flavorings can be added such as orange or lemon zest, almond extract, or coconut extract.
